Meet the Team Tuesday: Jessica Fry
Meet the Team Tuesday is back, and today we’re telling you all about Seward’s own Jessica Fry! Jessica is a born-and-raised Alaskan who has lived in Seward since moving from Anchorage twenty years ago.
Jessica is currently enrolled in the dental hygiene college at the University of Alaska Anchorage, which is a highly competitive program, so we’re incredibly happy to call her part of the FTT Family when school is out of session. This summer, Jessica is splitting her time between the sales floor and online classes to get ahead at school – she’s a real powerhouse!
Jessica is Alaskan Native Yupik on her mom’s side, so giving back to local communities is something that she holds close to her heart. Once she graduates, Jess plans to work as a dental hygienist in Seward at her local native clinic, and we’re all rooting for her!
Jessica has a number of favorite brands that we carry in-store, but her overall fave is Patagonia – especially the Nano Puff jacket and the Synchilla fleece. Jessica likes how versatile and environmentally conscious Patagonia is as a brand, and has a number of different products in her wardrobe that come in handy for life in Alaska.
Jessica’s other favorite brand that we carry is Ruff Wear – the perfect gear for your furry friend! Jessica has a seven-year-old English Shepherd called Ruby, and Ruff Wear is their go-to from front-range harnesses to frisbee toys. They love going on outdoor adventures together, so pet gear is a must-have for Jessica.
Outside of work, Jessica has a number of hobbies including horseback riding, snowboarding, hiking, spending time at the beach, reading, art, watching movies, and spending time with friends and family.
To round off our blog, we asked Jessica for a fun fact, and she said, “Ruby and I have the same birthday (October 23rd)! Proving she’s the perfect dog for me/I was destined to have her! A lot of my family pets have shared birthdays and anniversaries with my various family members,” how cool is that?!
